Thanks Ron, but unfortunately that is not it. When I open the file I get the
workbook I want and then a second blank workbook labelled "book 1". I have
tried the close and save suggestion but it still opens a blank "book 1" again
the next time I open the file.

Everytime I open any of my Excel files it now opens an additional (and
unwanted) workbook. It never used to do this, how do I stop this from
happening?
Thanks,
